Rapper Reportedly Linked To James Foley Killing Once Made An 'Anthem' For Anonymous

Abdel Majed Abdel Bary — a 23-year-old British Egyptian man who reportedly left his home in London to join jihadist fighters in Syria last year — is one of three people multiple media outletshave identified as suspects in the gruesome videotaped execution of American journalist James Foley.

Prior to his involvement with Islamic extremists, Bary had a rap career, and in that past life he expressed support for a different group, the online activist hacker collective Anonymous.

In an interview last year, the younger Bary's mother described the family's legal battles, which began in 1998 and included a lengthy fight over Adel Bary's extradition from England. She described that extradition as an "unfair" experience for her children. Adel Bary's attorney did not respond to a request for comment on this story.

In an email to Business Insider, Caitlin Hayden, a spokeswoman for the White House's National Security Council, declined to comment on British media reports identifying the younger Bary as a suspect in Foley's killing.

A "Lyricist Jinn" Facebook page that was created in 2012 and apparently belongs to Bary has not been updated since March, when the page linked to a Daily Mail report about his activities in Syria and dismissed it as coming from "pagan newspapers." Bary did not respond to a message from Business Insider to the account owner.

"I swear the day they came and took my dad I could've killed a couple too and I wouldn't have looked back," rapped Bary. "Imagine back then I was only 6. Just picture what I'll do now with a loaded stick."

"#OpCensorDis2," Bary's ode to Anonymous, might seem like his most overtly political song. One music site described it as "the new anthem of #OpCensorThis, a campaign initiated by TeaMp0isoN hackers back in 2011 as a form of protest against censorship." In the song, Bary allies himself with an "army of warriors starting disorder" and declares "the system is a primitive lie."

Despite this political commentary, however, the video for "#OpCensorDis2," which features the rappers Tabanacle and Proverbz along with Bary, begins with a disclaimer: "This Track and Video constitutes and anthem created on behalf of Anonymous but does not necessarilly [sic] reflect the views of beliefs of the artists involved."

Tabanacle and Proverbz did not respond to requests for comment. Watch the "#OpCensorDis2" video below.
